Must-Have Skills Assessments for a Thriving Workforce
WorkKeys Assessments are Relevant
Developed to solve actual workplace problems.
Unlike other assessments, they don’t simply give an indication of reading and writing competency. Instead, they measure a range of hard and soft skills relevant to any occupation, at any level, and across industries.
WorkKeys Assessments are Recognized
Successful completion of WorkKeys core assessments can lead to earning an ACT WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate™ (ACT WorkKeys NCRC®)—a credential that verifies the skills found to be most essential across industries and occupations.
